    That is impressive. I don't care what anyone says about it, but that is some tremendous engineering.

    I don't think that the Bayverse can be said to exist in real world physics. The Allspark sort of negated any "no mass shifting" rules they wanted to utilize.

    And Broadside was just a regular sized jet in alt mode. Not sure where that comes from.

    It's hardly the first.

    Real world logic:

    And aren't combiners constantly drawn oversized 99% of the time? You have a car limb that double the size of a bot, isn't that equally ridiculous and yet most fans ignore this.

    Oh for sure, but this is China/PRC/CCP we're talking about they're known for not really being that creative :p  Also as others have stated on here, they love their bayverse...

    @David Hingtgen

    This battleship is based from the WWI Battleship Sms König which was a König-Class Dreadnought. ;)

    Honestly the ship alt-mode itself is pretty awesome!

    I just honestly hate the fact it turns into Movie Jetfire. :/

    Looks fine but isn't Jetfire supposed to be a JET? Or at least an aircraft? A battleship makes no sense. If they are doing WWII than maybe a B-17. That would make more sense.

    On a related note... Why can't we get a decent movie Jetfire that is just a good figure and is not compromised by the need for combining with OP? Just do a good figure and forget the combining.

    If it wasn’t for transforming panels on side of ship it look like real model battle ship.,

    I know it be impossible maybe someday we will transformer boat that can float on water and transform

    THANK YOU. I checked dozens of ships last night, couldn't find it. (and I thought I checked all the main German ones).

    Glad to know my initial impression of it being German was correct though, I should have just stuck with that and kept digging, rather than start looking at other countries.

    I love me some War Ships.

    Again...I really love that Alt Mode a whole whole lot.

    It's just killed by it being Jetfire for me.

    I have no doubt atm. that when it's all painted up, it's gonna look awesome. (at least...I hope)

    This is pretty nifty, but like, hasn't Toyworld lately been showing off a ton of new figures but not releasing them? Maybe they should start releasing some of the ones they've already teased before teasing more.

    Unless I've missed something. :lolol

    Looks sick! Even like the name (anti air reference)! I do wish it was another character, as has been mentioned, though. AKA Tidal Wave!

    Well, they announced a shitton of figures through MS Paint drawings a while back, but most didn't really take it seriously considering how many they were announcing and slow they were at releasing stuff.

    I'm just glad that they seem to be continuing production on characters they announced rather than constantly announcing figures that won't come to fruition. It's good to know that progress is being made and that they haven't just completely dropped their plans.

    I too was in the NAVY. :) 

    Learned this song while in basic in Great Lakes back in 1994. :D  and I will be singing it aloud while playing with this blasted toy.

    Anchors Aweigh

    Stand Navy out to sea, fight our battle cry!
    We'll never change our course so vicious foes steer shy-y-y-y!
    Roll out the TNT, anchors aweigh!
    Sail on to victory, and sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!

    Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh!
    Farewell to foreign Shores, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay;
    Through our last night ashore, drink to the foam,
    Until we meet once more, here's wishing you a happy voyage home!

    Blue of the mighty deep, Gold of God's great sun;
    Let these our colors be, Till All of time be done-n-n-ne;
    On seven seas we learn, Navy's stern call:
    Faith, courage, service true, With honor over, honor over all.

    Ok, so then if no one else has anything to add, I think we're in agreement that this is generally based on a Bayern-class ship. Gonna have to check up on some later refits, see if anything really matches perfect. (aft stack is notably not quite right)

    I think this will look fun next to Knight Morpher Cyclops, unless toyworld has their own historic Shockwave in mind.
